Proteozyme Forte
Douglas Laboratories
Overview
Proteozyme Forte contains a broad range of vitamins, minerals, digestive enzymes, and botanical extracts. While many individual ingredients have established benefits, the effectiveness of this specific combination and the dosages of several key compounds are questionable, primarily due to the presence of a proprietary blend and some ingredients being underdosed or lacking strong clinical evidence for their stated purpose in a multi-ingredient supplement.
The Good
Provides a comprehensive blend of essential vitamins and minerals to support daily nutritional needs.
Includes a range of digestive enzymes that may aid in protein breakdown and nutrient absorption.
Good doses of key B vitamins (Thiamine, Riboflavin, Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12, Pantothenic Acid) and Vitamin C.
The Bad
Presence of a "Proprietary Blend" obscures the dosages of several botanical ingredients, making efficacy assessment difficult.
Horsetail Grass contains thiaminase, which can potentially degrade Thiamine (Vitamin B1) if taken in sufficient quantity, although the amount in the proprietary blend is unknown.
Very high doses of Manganese Complex (7500% DV per serving) may be excessive for some individuals and could lead to adverse effects, especially long-term.
Is it for you?
